Kia Ora, Kia Ora,
E hoki ki to maunga teitei
kia purea nei koe
I nga hau a Tawhirimatea.
Return to your highest mountain
and there be cleansed
by the winds of Tawhirimatea.
The mountains of the mind form the highest peaks. The cleansing winds of Tawhirimatea, (guardian spirit of winds) are in our every breath.
From Atarangi: I often use the proverb to connect to my mountain whose name is Whangatautia (in Ahipara). I call upon her when I'm needing strength for a task ahead of me that is challenging and may be fraught with fear and anxiety for the person I'm working with and on.
I will call upon and use the healing winds of Tawhirimatea to go in to every nook and every crevice, every plane, every valley of that persons body and mind. Nothing is left untouched. And on the healing winds of Tawhirimatea I will call out the persons name, knowing a great healing will come forth.
